Title: Just a idea for new board name.
Post by: Meistari F on Tue 24/05/2011 12:26:48
Would it not be cool if there was a new board here wish could be called  "AGS code scripts"? 
Wish would only be for the AGS code script.

It would spare me a lot of time to find and search for a useful AGS codes and scripts then.

It was just a idea.

I came in to this thinking you had an idea for a new board game :-[

Third misread about a board game. I got my hopes up for an AGS themed boardgame... =(

Right here (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=41620.0)

So what should this board game be about?
The classic Game of the Goose kind of game, something with cards or something like cluedo? That would be awesome! :D

Me also. And I spent a minute wondering how you'd make a board game about AGS code...

Mad, me too. I swear it said board 'game' in the link!

Time for an AGS Board game, no?

Boooaaarrd GAME! Boooaaarrd GAME!

*Snake rolls dice and advances his little Snake shaped pawn 6 spaces...
Uh oh... what happens when you land on the space with Grundislav's face on it? The one with the black background, not the pink. I only have the Blue Cup, Troll Deflecting Necklace and the Lock of Babar's Beard in my inventory (cards in my hand) at the moment - hopefully they'll help bail me out if it's anything awful... like when you land on Dualnames' flesh-tone space.

In response to your signature, Chicky: From where I come from, calling someone a fuckass is an other way of calling them an idiot, stupid, dumbass, etc ;) I'm only responding to that because I saw it and it made me laugh out loud. I haven't heard that word in YEARS.

I too was expecting a board game. I wanted to be the race car. Instead I find out that there's no board game at all. (Which means I don't get stuck playing the thimble, I guess).

Personally, I was hoping to land on the big, yellow "Yahtzee" space. If you do that, you automatically leave the game in a spectacularly dramatic fashion (bonus points for peeing on the board before you leave).  :=

I guess I'm the only one who never read anything different than "board name" then :=

Yeah, you weirdo. What are you doing here anyway? We don't appreciate you correctly-reading freaks here!

Don't judge me by that, pleeease :'( At least I misunderstood the topic and thought it would be a suggestion of a new name for the whole forums to replace "AGS Forums"!

That was my second thought after I realized this isn't about a board game..

Haha, I also read it as 'board game'.  It's long been an intention of mine to develop one... I scrapped my design, Pregnant! (https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0ARi4Vvjmz7BqZGM4ajIzY2ZfMmN3ZzVncnN4&hl=en&pli=1) after a friend put me off by reminding me that I am nearly 30 years old.  :-\

Hahahaah I get 15 answers but none of them answered my question.  That's my new reckord here.

I know there is a lots of AGS scripts and codes in other boards but.  But it would be better if they was all together in one boards.

Like I said it was just a idea...and if I know you all....nobody likes my ideas hahahahahha so forget this then and lets move on , on something else or ....whatever.  ;)

It's not a bad idea. A sticky thread on the Technical board would probably suffice. The mods could post useful bits of user-made code from other threads into it. It might become tedious to navigate after a while though.

Don't let that bother you. Designing a game, doesn't matter if it's a computer or a board game, is quite a task and definitely not a "child's play" as your friend seems to think. I'm not quite sure what age has to do with anything we do. It's all in people's heads that you can do this or that until that age and after that you're only allowed to do this other thing. BS.

Thanks Eigen.  I may revive the idea in future, but I think I can do better actually.

Perhaps I should say something on topic:
I personally think we should encourage more people to share the code for their games.  It's a suggestion I've made a couple of times but while no-one has really disagreed with me, nothing has really come of it, either.

It's for purely selfish reasons that I say that though.  I personally haven't got to grips with AGS properly, despite following the basic tutorials, because that's just not how I learn.  But if I have access to other people's code, I love to sit there, work out what it's doing and try to get a greater understanding of how the script works beyond the basics. I think that method is more suited to how I learn, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
